Question

Nancy found that x=1 is one solution to the quadratic equation (x 2)2=a. what is the value of a?

Answer 1

The value of the a in the quadratic equation is 4.

According to the statement

we have given that the x = 1 and the given equation is  (2x)^2=a

And we have to find the value of A here.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared.

And the given quadratic equation is

(2x)^2 = a

we know that the x  = 1 and put the value of x in it then

(2(1))^2= a

(2)^2= a

a  = 4.

Now for rechecking of the value, put a = 4 in the given equation then

(2x)^2 = a

Put a  = 4

Then

(2x)^2 = 4

2x = 2

And the value of x become

x = 1.

Which equal to the given value of the x which is 1.

So, The value of the a in the quadratic equation is 4.
